Functions BEFORE FIRST USE

FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Initial Start Up

Remove and discard all labelling and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets and jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid and rinse well. Wipe the outer housing, bean hopper and drip tray with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the outer housing, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid. The water filter located inside the water tank will need to be removed before washing the water tank.

• Fill tank with water • Press POWER button

CONDITIONING THE WATER FILTER • Remove filter from the plastic bag and soak in a cup of water for 5 minutes. • Rinse filter under cold running water. • Wash the stainless steel mesh in the plastic filter compartment with cold water. • Insert the filter into the filter holder. • Set the dial date 2 months ahead. • To install filter, push down to lock into place. • Slide the water tank into position and lock into place.

NOTE To purchase water filters contact Breville Customer Service Centre on 1300 139 798 (Australia) or 0800 273 845 (New Zealand).

• A pumping sound will be heard. The machine will reach operating temperature and go into STANDBY mode.

FLUSHING THE MACHINE It is recommended to complete a water flushing operation, without ground coffee, to ensure the machine has been conditioned. When the machine has reached STANDBY mode, run the following 2 steps. • Press the 2 CUP button to run hot water through the group head for 30 seconds. • Activate steam for 10 seconds. • Repeat this cycle until the water tank is empty.

NOTE Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

FILLING THE WATER TANK • Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside the tank. • Fill the water tank with cold tap water to the maximum mark on the side of the tank and slide the water tank back into position at the back of the machine.

There are 18 settings on the GRIND SIZE select dial - The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size. We recommend you start at the No. 5 setting and adjust as required.

• Plug the power cord into power outlet and switch On at power point. • Press the POWER button. The POWER button surround will flash while the machine is heating. When the correct temperature has been reached, all the button surrounds on the control panel will illuminate.

GRINDING THE COFFEE • Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans. • Place the portafilter into the grinding cradle. • Insert filter basket required into the porta-filter. Press the FILTER SIZE button to select your filter size (single or double).

NOTE Check the water level before use and replace the water daily. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold tap water before each use. Do not use de-mineralised or distilled water or any other liquid.

SETTING THE GRIND SIZE The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and the flavour of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine but not too fine and powdery.

DOUBLE

AUTOMATIC DOSING • Push and release the portafilter to activate the grinding switch, then allow the portafilter to be dosed with fresh ground coffee. • To stop the grinding function during single or double dose, simply press the filter size button.

ADJUSTING THE GRIND AMOUNT Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the 3 o’clock position as a starting point for dose amount. Adjust towards LESS or MORE as required to adjust the dose amount so the cap on the supplied tamper is level with the top edge of the filter basket rim, AFTER tamping.

TRIMMING THE DOSE The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

the Razor™ Precision dose trimming tool

NOTE You may need to adjust the GRIND AMOUNT dial a few times to achieve the correct grind amount.

MANUAL DOSING • With the portafilter inserted, push and hold the micro switch down until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed. • To stop the function during a manual grind function, simply release the portafilter. This will release the activation switch to stop the grind function.

Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the filter basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee. Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off excess coffee.

TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE Once the grind function has been completed, carefully withdraw the portafilter from the grinding cradle, being careful not to spill any ground coffee, tap down to collapse and using the integrated tamper, tamp down firmly (approx. 15–20 kg of pressure).

Your coffee filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.

12

Insert portafilter into group head to extract coffee.

INSERT

LOCK

PRE-PROGRAMMED SHOT VOLUME – 1 CUP Press the 1 CUP once. A preset single espresso volume of approximately 30ml will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once the preset volume has been extracted.

PRE-PROGRAMMED SHOT VOLUME – 2 CUP Press the 2 CUP button once. A preset double espresso volume of approx. 60ml will be extracted. The machine will automatically stop once the preset volume has been extracted.

PROGRAM

PROGRAMMING SINGLE ESPRESSO

PROGRAM

NOTE The amount of espresso extracted in the cup will vary depending on your grind size and grind amount.

1. To begin programming, press the PROGRAM button once. The machine will beep once and the program button will begin to flash. This indicates the machine is in programming mode. 2. Press 1 CUP button to start espresso extraction. Press 1 CUP again once desired volume of espresso has been extracted. The machine will beep twice to indicate the new 1 CUP volume has been set.

PROGRAMMING DOUBLE ESPRESSO 1. To begin programming, press the PROGRAM button once. The machine will beep once and the program button will begin to flash. This indicates the machine is in programming mode. 2. Press 2 CUP button to start espresso extraction. Press 2 CUP again once desired volume of espresso has been extracted. The machine will beep twice to indicate the new 2 CUP volume has been set.

13

RESETTING DEFAULT VOLUMES To reset the machine to the default 1 CUP and 2 CUP shot volumes and espresso water temperature press and hold the PROGRAM button until the machine beeps three times. Release the PROGRAM button. The machine will return to its original default setting.

ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE IDEAL ESPRESSO ZONE The gauge needle, when positioned in the middle zone during extraction, indicates the espresso will be extracted at the ideal pressure.

NOTE Default settings: 1 CUP shot volume is approx. 30ml. 2 CUP is approx. 60ml.

MANUAL ESPRESSO VOLUME

UNDER EXTRACTED ZONE PROGRAM

PRESS & HOLD Press and hold the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button. Release the button once sufficient pre-infusion time has elapsed & full pump pressure will be applied. Press either the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button when sufficient espresso volume has been extracted.

NOTE For optimal flavour when using a 1 CUP filter basket, you should extract approx. 30ml. When using a 2 cup filter basket, you should extract approx. 60ml.

WARNING The metal parts of the portafilter will be very hot.

14

The gauge needle, when positioned in the lower zone during extraction, indicates the espresso has been extracted with insufficient pressure. This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee is too fast and results in an under extracted espresso that is watery and lacks crema and flavour. Causes for under extraction include the grind being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in filter basket and/or under tamping.

OVER EXTRACTED ZONE

USING THE STEAM DIAL

The gauge needle, when positioned in the upper zone during extraction, indicates the espresso has been extracted with too much pressure. This occurs when the water flow through the ground coffee is too slow and results in an over extracted espresso that is very dark and bitter with a mottled and uneven crema.

• Position the steam tip over the drip tray. Turn the STEAM selector dial to the steam position. The white steam light will flash to indicate the machine is heating to create steam. • When the steam light stops flashing the steam wand is ready for use. • Before inserting the wand into the milk, pause the steam by returning the dial back to the STANDBY position. This will avoid the milk splashing out of the jug (this pause function lasts for approx 8 seconds before exiting steam mode). • Insert the wand into the milk and turn the steam dial from Standby to the Steam position to begin texturing. • To stop, return the STEAM dial to the STANDBY position and remove the jug.

Causes for over extraction include the grind being too fine and/or too much ground coffee in filter basket.

TEXTURING MILK The Breville Barista Express™ comes complete with a commercial style 360˚stainless steel steam wand.

WARNING Ensure the STEAM DIAL is in the STANDBY position before removing the steam wand from the frothing jug.

NOTE When the espresso machine creates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This is the normal operation of the 15 bar Italian pump.

NOTE After 5 minutes of continuous steaming, the machine will automatically disable the steam function. The steam light will flash. When this occurs return the steam dial to the STANDBY position.

15

USING HOT WATER OUTLET Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER selector dial to the hot water position. The white steam light will flash to indicate the machine is heating to create hot water. When the steam light stops flashing, the hot water is up to temperature. To stop the flow of hot water, return the steam dial back to the STANDBY position.
